There’s some truth to that, but realistically speaking I think the window of opportunity on that has closed now. The US has lost every one of their own war games against China in South China Sea. So, if China decided to take military action there’s little the US can do short of starting a nuclear war.

TSMC doesn’t care about preserving anything. The chips being made in Taiwan is their ace card in getting western support. If they ever started making cutting edge fabs elsewhere then their importance to the west would fizzle.

To be fair, it’d be pretty boring if we all agreed on everything all the time. :)

Also worth noting that the material conditions have declined significantly since Sanders ran. A lot more people are now seeing their own living standards declining, making it easier for them to realize the problems in the system.

I expect that will happen. When Bernie campaign failed, it was an eye opener for a lot of people that the game is rigged and radicalized them further to the left.

unfortunately looks that way

yeah sadly
